    Almost great but not quite there for me.

    Certainly faster than other android boxes I’ve owned. But a couple of issues for me. The remote is too basic. It’s too easy to accidentally touch the volume slider. Also, no on/off switch for the shield itself. If I want to shut down the shield altogether, as I prefer my HDD to power down, I need to unplug the shield and reinsert the cable to get it to power back up. Can’t do much about the power, I think, but I’ll get myself a third party remote to use with the shield.

  • Top critical review

    Awesome but why no browser by default?

    Not quite what I was hoping for but perhaps due to me not doing enough research. Biggest issue I have is that there is no browser installed and none available from the app store. Is possible to side load Chrome but its not a straightforward process. That said great product and build quality, and if you don't need a browser, probably the best media player I've seen yet.

  • Great hardware software, fast, reliable.

    256 graphics processors, 3GB of RAM, great handshake with Google, over an hour of updating, does not recognise windows NTFS file system, in flash sticks. It is however the best streaming TV box I've ever owned, the remote, is generally far better than a smartphone, or tablet. It Chromecasts very well, from tablets and smartphones, a dream, for catch-up TV, YouTube, Netflix, Google Play movies, music.

  • A Monster of a little box.

    As a 4K media player/streaming device this thing is the goods. It'll play anything you throw at it. The game streaming is also great from what I've tried so far. Plex on the Sheild is a beast, providing faultless playback of 4K HDR Dolby Atmos files. This was the missing piece in my 4K entertainment system.

  • Good product but doesn't have all the bells & whistles

    Good product other than it lacks browser, power off option, AAA/AA battery option and doesn't come with HDMI cable. Can't use gaming options unless you buy gaming accessories. Very poorly designed physical remote and Remote app. Forced to sign-up for Google account to even use the product.

  • Oh my goodness, get yourself one!

    The free games library alone is worthy of a 5 star review. This has replaced my chromecast and Nintendo wii U, for games and Netflix. The possibilities with this unit once you start using emulators is endless. The plug and play style of android and processing power of this unit, does away with any need or the hassle of using a gaming PC.

  • nVidia SHIELD: It's worth the money

    I bought a generic Android TV box as a 'cost efficient' media device after my old X-Box 360 expired. Frustration was my reward with poor picture quality, dodgy system navigation and no instructions. The nVidia SHIELD box is a top quality unit all the way. Beautiful picture quality, easy to use and supported with an online manual. After an hour of exploring and familarising myself with the system and customise it to my preferences. Spend the extra money on the nVidia and save yourself the trauma that comes with the cheap alternatives.

  • Sensational Device.

    Sensational device. Super fast, great quality sound, very nice interface. Evens converts analogue audio into True Dolby Digital, and does an amazing job at it too. All Neflix streams come up as Dolby Digital on my amp. Vocals are crystal clear with effects separated beautifully. Just like playing off a DVD with a digital amplifier. Very impressive.

  • Easy to use.

    I wanted to use the product for a while before I left a review. It works really well, I only use it to watch movies so I’m not sure what it’s like to play games on. It’s fast and does everything you want it to do. I’m extremely happy with it. Would highly recommend this android box it’s definitely worth the money.
